Hi Everyone -
We're nearly ready for the big 1.1 release, this Sunday - but to tie
you over, here's another set of bug fixes to test upon. The jQuery dev
team has been working long-and-hard to fix all the support requests
that've been coming in this week, and we've been pretty successful in
fixing just about everything that's come across our plate.
We'd really appreciate it if you'd take the time to test the new 1.1b
with your code, and if you spot any bugs, to please submit them to the
bug tracker.
It's not all bug fixes, however; we do have something new for you to
try: The jQuery 1.0 Compatibility Plugin. As promised, this plugin
provides all of the methods and selectors that were present in the
last 1.0.4 release. So, theoretically, you should be able to drop in
jQuery 1.1, and the new compatibility plugin and everything should
work seamlessly.
This is how you would use the compatibility plugin with jQuery 1.1:
<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery-1.1.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.compat-1.0.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
// Your old 1.0-centric code
});
</script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
So, while its fully possible to continue using the compatibility
plugin into the foreseeable future, it is highly recommended that you
follow the upgrade plans mentioned before:

So, again; please help us test this beta release! The more you help
test, the better the final 1.1 release is going to be. Thanks for all
your help!
